Heard some comments by Locke on NPR this morning, something to the effect of needing to ensure that the US remains technologically competitive and that its goods can compete in international markets. I agree that, knowing little else, this guy may be more friendly to, for example, the pending FPLA revision.

He was guv here in Wash State before I moved here but what I've heard in bits and pieces about his "reign" have all been quite good. Better luck for metrication with him than the Republican, I'm quite certain. Ezra
